Badgeville Brings Gamification to Salesforce

Many people have heard the term CRM but some are not sure what it means. CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management and while CRM does refer to a program to manage customer information; superior CRM software does much more than that. CRM software not only allows the organizing of customer information, but CRM software also provides the means to track sales leads from the time they are obtained until the sales are closed.

Results continue to pour in showing that more than half of CRM implementations fail, resulting in more than 10 percent in lost revenue per year. Even with a modern, robust CRM solution such as Salesforce.com, the value this SaaS solution offers above traditional software is lost if people aren’t diligent about using it.

Badgeville to the rescue

Let’s face it, many of us have used and experienced the Salesforce dashboard. Initially it may be cool and unique to work with, unfortunately as the work cycle progresses, it becomes mundane. Some companies have used leaderboards and many other techniques to reward top performers, but these haven’t ever addressed the user experience of the sales cloud app itself. Leave it to Badgeville to solve that dilemma.

Badgeville for Salesforce.com delivers sales leaders with a native, wizard-based approach to configure game mechanics directly in the Sales Cloud. The end result: Sales teams immediately get acknowledged and rewarded for key behaviors in Salesforce.
